Should I Be Concerned About High Levels Of Total Bilirubin?
I just received test results back from some lab work I had done for Life Insurance. It shows that my total Biliruben levels were considered "High." It has my level reading a 2.02. I did make an appointment with my PCP, but I am a bit upset and concerned. I know that Biliruben is important in liver and pancreatic functions. The only other two tests that were a bit off were my specific gravity 1.035 (High) and my glucose 60 (Low). Should I be concerned?

hi
if you have only high bilirubin without high liver enzymes or without gallbladder and pancreatic problem , you should not be worried.
if you have done abdominal ultrasound and gallbladder and pancreas are normal and liver panel are normal we can say that it may be gilbert syndrome.
Gilbert syndrome has high bilirubin and no need for treatment.
I need more of your medical data, to get a diagnose.
